Noise coming from wheels.

I took off my driver side wheels the other day to fix some chips in the rims and after putting them back on I have ran into a problem. When im driving, if i turn to the left the wheels starts squealing, but if im in reverse and turn to the left it sounds more like grinding or metal rubbing together. Anyone have a clue?

+1^...Make sure the lugnuts are tight first...I know its a tad over spec but I torque them to around 85 ft lbs...The noise was not there before you removed the wheel i presume? As for the squeal check your drive belt condition/tension....

Is it more of a squeal like a belt or a squeak...Did you make sure nothing is rubbing like the undercover or something?.. fore you mentioned it happens when you turn all the way to the left....Are you sure you arent just keen to sound now that you have worked on the vehicle and its the normal stress of the Power steering system when turned to full lock?...
